I once worked in an office that was in a two story geodesic dome. It was kind of annoying on the second floor due to the slope of the outside wall making it hard to find a good use for space on that side of my office. More details here [1].
That said, those spherical homes look like they might work out OK. As I said about domes in the comment linked in the prior paragraph,
> They probably work better as houses than office buildings, because the designer of a house can better anticipate what each room will be used for and arrange it so that things you'd naturally want against outside walls are things that would be OK with the curves.
> An office building has a lot more variability from tenant to tenant, making it more likely that the tenant's things won't work well against the curved walls.
